I know that many people have a Kitchen Set on their Holiday list this year and I think this Little Tikes Cook N' Grow is just fabulous! First of all, the color is unisex and can be used by little girl or boy chefs!

Second, the kitchen can be reconfigured from one better suited for little ones and then to one a toddler can enjoy. How neat is that? Currently you can find it for just $76.47 with FREE Shipping which is more than $30 less than on the actual Little Tikes website. Sweet Deal!

Plus, if you haven't yet used your $10 e-gift card from the techy error day, you can get this for $66!

So, I stopped in at the Dollar Tree store the other day and found some really neat things that are perfect for stocking stuffers! Best part is, they aren't actually "junk" and can be used for practical things! But I think the kids will love them too. So, here is what I found.

1. Cold Weather Gear: Above, you can see the cold weather gear. Hats, knit gloves, head bands all those goodies. Perfect for that 2nd pair to keep in the car or at school or daycare!

2. Coloring Books: Yeah, the old stand0by of coloring books! Who wants to pay more than $1 for a coloring book that likely is only going to be half colored in? I never finished one as a child. Never! And I actually had this Barbie one that I really did try to finish.. it was awesome. But I digress.

3. Flash Cards: Dollar Tree has a bunch of flash cards with characters that are directed at Math and Reading. My kids have always loved these, I don't think they realize that they are learning and having fun too.

4. Hair Accessories: I am AMAZED at the amount of hair accessories that Dollar Tree carries! From little girl to teen the assortment is pretty fabulous. And for $1, I'm not gonna get upset if someone steps on it and it breaks or it goes missing under a bed for 3 months.

5. Hair Accessories Part 2: Yeah, they have THAT many Hair accessories!

6. Hand Sanitizer: Yeah, maybe not the most cool thing, but with this season being so full of the sickies already, it can;t hurt to have Bobby and Suzy have some hand sanitizer in their backpacks. And when it has Minnie Mouse and Cars on it, all their friends will want some too.

7. Character Toothbrush & Floss: Maybe we won't have to fight to brush their teeth if they can see Hello Kitty and Angry Birds in the mirror.

8. Character Washcloths: This was one of the tricks I used on 2 of my kids when they went through that, "I know I liked baths yesterday but I don't today and I will scream til you get me out" stage. A washcloth that magically "grows". Yep, plain old washcloth but these amaze kids. And only $1. Yes!

Okay, this last one obviously isn't for a stocking, but WOW is that an assortment of disposable pans or what? The last 2 years I have left my pan at my dad's after Thanksgiving. And never got them back. Are you reading this Dad? Missing my 8X8 and my 13X9! :D

Who wants to pay $4 for a pan you are gonna throw away anyways? It is going in a 400 degree oven anyways. I say, pay the $1.

Well, hopefully this list helped you, or entertained you. Oh, and tomorrow, Sunday 11/24, there is a 10% off coupon you can use! That essentially means each item is $0.90 with the coupon. There are some restrictions and the purchase amount must be at least $10. You can print the Dollar Tree Customer Appreciation Coupon here.

I added a little bit of water to mine to make it easier to mix. I mistakenly used the wrong size mixing bowl which made it hard to get the dough mixed properly.

Pre-Heat the Oven to 350 degrees and then mix the 2 ingredients. I opted for mini muffins
because my kids love anything pumpkin and the minis are less messy. :) The mix made however a little more than 24 mini muffins so I also made 2 regular size muffins. The best part of the recipe? No eggs so I could taste test along the way. (Yes, i scraped the bowl!)

I used mini paper liners (found some cute ones on Amazon from Martha Stewart for only $5.95 right now) again because of a less messy option but next time I would choose to not use the liners as the muffin stuck to the paper. A quick can of spray would have worked better. I baked them for about 18 minutes.

The result? 5 Happy Bellies after we each had our pumpkin muffin!

I think these would be a great little treat for thanksgiving. Happy Holidays!

If anyone finds out the original poster of the recipe please let me know so I can give them credit for coming up with it! Thank you!
